Manual Reference Pages - EVIM (1)

CONTENTS

eVim starts
Vim and sets options to make it behave like a modeless editor.
This is still Vim but used as a point-and-click editor.
This feels a lot like using Notepad on MS-Windows.
eVim will always run in the GUI, to enable the use of menus and toolbar.

Only to be used for people who really cant work with Vim in the normal way.
Editing will be much less efficient.

eview is the same, but starts in read-only mode. It works just like evim -R.

See vim(1) for details about Vim, options, etc.

The insertmode option is set to be able to type text directly.
Mappings are setup to make Copy and Paste work with the MS-Windows keys.
CTRL-X cuts text, CTRL-C copies text and CTRL-V pastes text.
Use CTRL-Q to obtain the original meaning of CTRL-V.
